ILLINOIS: Midwest Bird Market was organized for bird enthusiasts in the Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows.
This exhibition is held regularly on the second Saturday of every month and has been a constant center of interest for Chicago bird enthusiasts for the past two years.
This time, dozens of families, children and fans from the Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi communities participated in the exhibition.
The exhibition featured a variety of vibrant birds decorated with natural colors, such as African grey parrots, lovebirds, cockatiels, green and red parrots, pigeons and other rare species.
The prices of the birds ranged from $10 to $2,000 or more, depending on the breed, color and training.
A Pakistani-American citizen Aizaz Ahmed said that he visits market every month to buy high-quality birds for his farm. He added that special birds for breeding are also available here, which are sold at relatively high prices.
The market not only sold birds but also provided them with essential items such as feeders, water bowls, cages, and bird houses made of clay and wood.
According to market vendors, bird sellers and buyers from not only Chicago but also nearby suburbs and states attend this unique exhibition.
A bird vendor at the market said that holding an indoor bird market in the summer is a great idea, where not only can the birds be kept in a safe environment but buyers can also inspect and buy comfortably.
The Midwest Bird Market is now becoming a Chicago landmark and provides an exciting and informative opportunity for bird lovers every month. According to organizers, the scope of this exhibition will be further expanded in the future to include more varieties and facilities.
